Warning Subnetcache

Hi Georg,

Probably the compilation or the default configuration of Unbound changed 
between those Debian versions.

This is only a problem if you want the prefetch functionality to work 
with the subnetcache module (ECS); which currently it does not.

You can turn either off and the warning would go away.

If Unbound was compiled with ECS support, the subnetcache module is by 
default enabled in the configuration. To turn it off you need to 
explicitly set a module-config without it, for example:
     server:
         module-config: "validator iterator"

Best regards,
-- Yorgos
